أَنْشَدَ الْكُمَيْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) شِعْراً فَقَالَ: أَخْلَصَ اللَّهُ لِي هَوَايَ فَمَا أُغْرِقُ نَزْعاً وَ لَا تَطِيشُ سِهَامِي فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) لَا تَقُلْ هَكَذَا فَمَا أُغْرِقُ نَزْعاً وَ لَكِنْ قُلْ فَقَدْ أُغْرِقَ نَزْعاً وَ لَا تَطِيشُ سِهَامِي.

So Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said; ‘Do not say like this, ‘I do not pull the string of my bow’, but say, ‘So I have pulled the string of my bow and my arrows do not waver’.
